Connection / Yhteys

autumn with orange, yellow and brown, fading towards the darkness of November

long, dark and cold winter with its icy blue, white and grey shades,

chilly, windy, lime green spring with amazing brightness..

I do love the variety of the seasons.
And they all have their own character and beauty.

As a visual person, I see the seasons as colors, each in very different shades.

Right now I am finishing four paintings which, I hope, will tell something about
how I see and sense the seasons of the year.

I am trying to make a serie of paintings and that is why I also try to find the connection in between them
There should be some connection in colors, rhythm or composition in addition the obvious one of the theme itself. I am not quite there yet but I am working on it..

The pictures above are details of each painting, partly in process yet.
With these photos I find it easy and fun to play with the lines and make rhytmn and connection with the images in that sense.

Dear Leena,wonderful paintings... In my opinion there is already connection in colors, rhythm and composition in addition to the obvious one of the theme itself! Maybe 'frost' is more abstract than the others. But that's because of frost, winter itself, right? And the stems/branch is the golden thread...

Dear Leena, i love to live in a place with four seasons too and as you say there is always that time when somehow you feel and sense the next season coming but not actually seeing it, that time of connection.I see the challenge of putting that into painting, beautiful pieces of your work here, everyone with its own mood, looking forward to see the whole works. x

Beautiful! Love your paintings, especially the first one! Also love the different seasons and their connections. I mean, how lovely would the colours of spring be without a typical monochrome winter beforehand?
